Video Analysis: Jameer Nelson’s Big Night Against the Charlotte Bobcats

Jameer Nelson was one of the lone bright spots on offense for the Orlando Magic against the Charlotte Bobcats in Game 1, amidst Dwight Howard‘s foul troubles and Vince Carter‘s shooting woes. Nelson was able to put on a show in front of a nationally televised audience, reminding everyone why he was an All-Star in 2009 by scoring 32 points on 10-of-18 shooting and terrorizing the Bobcats’ defense in the process.

I compiled a video to show the types of plays Nelson got his points from. For instance, note how Nelson and Rashard Lewis are able to force the switch on the 1/4 pick and roll with Boris Diaw to create a mismatch in Nelson’s favor on two separate possessions.
